Joseph and many others during his time engaged in communism 😳

…the copyright. No such man was found and this revelation never came to pass…

Regarding the printing of the Book of Mormon, Martin Harris guaranteed $3000 for the printing on 5,000 copies.

Citizens of Palmyra formed a committee to boycott the book. Egbert B. Grandin who was the printer for the BOM afterwards demanded full payment to resume production.

Since they lacked the money to cover the cost, Joseph “received” a revelation directing Cowdery and Page to find a man anxious to buy…

SUPER interesting how Brody gets into the backstory and highlights key aspects of the life of Smith.

Was the BOM translated by the gift and power of God? Given her arguments and documentation, I think not. Either Smith was deceived by the angel Moroni or Smith was one of the most infamous con men to have ever lived!

On chapter 3, definitely recommend this book already

So interesting already to read about the religious climate that plagued the Northeast where Smith grew up

48 wives??!?!? This should be good 😆
